A page in which we can share what is actually going on in their heads, to inform log posts. I.e. the stuff they would say to each other were they emotionally mature adults.
Souvarine has got to the point at which he is only seeing the bad in Vex' character.
Part of his frustration is the way that Vex patronises him. A perfect example is the post in which Sou takes on a Clipper (in Season One) and Vex has to save the day, then treats him like a naughty child. Sou is now gripped by the same kind of self-righteous indignation that teenagers have when their parents treat them like a liability - sort of, "why can't they see that I'm not an idiot child any more?" Part of this frustration may in part be because he is still in a small way a bit of an idiot child, which makes it all the more frustrating.
However, he's also now a leading member of the IPEC's strategic council, which he feels is evidence of being a bit more than Vex' weakling cross to bear.
The other aspect of his frustration is Vex' image of himself, of others and of the world. To Sou, Vex appears to rate people only on their toughness, and sees anyone who can't (or won't) kick a head in as weak, and certainly inferior to himself.
This is anathema to Souvarine. Souvarine has absolutely no interest in being the biggest bully in the playground - he feels that if you have to resort to violence, you're displaying a disappointing lack of intelligence.
"Who fucking cares if you can kick someone's head in? What does that prove?" Might be a typical thought.
Souvarine thinks the universe belongs to people who are clever enough to avoid doing the head-kicking.
So, he absolutely hates it when Vex judges him on his own totally different scale of value. Like when he introduced Sou to Ronnie as "a tidy little scrapper". This is the kind of comment that would piss Sou off. One, it's false flattery. And two, who fucking cares? Is that all he's worth - his ability to kill people?
It's a bit like a passably good looking but clever girl being described to someone as 'gorgeous' or 'hot' or similar. The girl might think:
"Well, I'm not. And is that all you think I'm worth? My looks?"
